This collection highlights the city's evolution through its Baroque cathedrals, neoclassical squares, and 18th-century mansions like Palais d’York. Significant monuments, such as the Monument of the Dead and the Centenary Monument, commemorate the region's complex history and its eventual attachment to France, while public fountains and columns reflect the city's urban artistic traditions.
